AutoProtect Group has announced the permanent appointment of Graeme Nieman as its chief executive officer.

Nieman initially joined AutoProtect Group in May 2022 as an interim CEO. He brought with him extensive experience and a comprehensive understanding of the automotive sector. His relationship with the company precedes his interim role, having been a key figure and a long-term collaborator with the business.

Prior to joining AutoProtect Group, Nieman held the position of head of motor product partnerships at Correlation Risk Partners, the sole shareholder of AutoProtect Group. He has also played a significant role in the operational and group boards of the company, contributing to its strategic direction and expansion.

“We are excited to embark on this new chapter with Graeme at the helm. His vision and leadership are exactly what AutoProtect Group needs as we continue to grow in what we know to be a dynamic market,” Correlation Risk Partners managing director Alex Lugt said.

Elsewhere in the sector, data logged in the third quarter of 2023 revealed that insurers in the UK paid out £2.54 billion in motor insurance claims – the highest quarterly sum since the Association of British Insurers began collecting data in 2013.
